No chance of that. I've tried to be as accurate on my resume as possible. And in the interviews I have further tried to qualify my knowledge i.e. yes I know Java OK, but it has been a little while since I used it and I am a little rusty.
There is one company in particular I'm hopeful will work out. They are actually hiring a few people and therefore aren't after any particular skills, just someone who does know development in general. So I will get my choice of language etc for the test (if I get one). I'm assuming it will be nothing more than making sure I do know the basics and haven't BSed on my resume.
I'm not fretting over it too much, it's just that the first skills test I'm likely to take is for the one company that I'd really like to work for. So unlike interviews where I've stuffed a few up while I got back into the swing of them, I really don't want to stuff up my first test.
I should have mentioned that they actually do two tests. The first is skills based, if I do OK in that, the second is a logic/lateral thinking type of affair.
I'm in Australia if it makes a difference. I finished up uni just before xmas and it took a few weeks to get the BS in the resume sorted before anyone wanted to even talk to me. But now that is sorted the phone calls are starting to come in.
There are quite a few jobs out there, and many of the junior and graduate ones still want 1-2 years experience. But even putting those aside, there are jobs out there if you are any good. Not as many as I would like obviously, but enough that I don't imagine I should have too much trouble landing something.
I love the blank dialog box. It's just as, if not more informative, than some of the MS dialogs that appear on a Windows machine.
Seriously though, most of the issues around IE etc do not stem from the download source, it's the holes that are in program to start with. That's why I don't trust IE.
